Joe Morton Interview on Scandal Season Three (Video)

Joe Morton — Yes, Olivia Pope's Dad — Says This Season of Scandal Is All About "History"

Gladiators shared a collective gasp on last season's finale of Scandal when it was revealed that The Mysterious Man was actually Rowan Pope: Olivia's father. Rowan himself, actor Joe Morton, stopped by our studios to share the interesting backstory behind the onscreen action — including how he and Kerry Washington shot that pivotal scene — and fill us in on what Rowan's true motivations might be. He also gave us his personal opinion on whether Fitz and Olivia should be together. You can catch Scandal every Thursday night at 10/9 Central on ABC.
